Florida State vs. Miami: How to watch, stream, TV info for Seminoles vs. Hurricanes

The undefeated Florida State Seminoles football team, ranked 4th in the nation and in the College Football Playoff rankings, plays host to the unranked Miami (FL) Hurricanes this Saturday in Doak Campbell Stadium.

Kickoff is slated for 3:30 pm eastern on ABC. Sean McDonough and Greg McElroy will have the call, with Molly McGrath on the sidelines.

Miami leads the all-time series with Florida State 35-32, although the Seminoles currently hold a two-game winning streak. FSU also leads the series 12-7 since the Hurricanes joined the ACC.

Last year’s matchup in Coral Gables saw the ‘Noles annihilate the Canes 45-3. Jordan Travis only needed 10 completions to accumulate 202 yards and three touchdowns, Trey Benson racked up 128 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries, and Lawrence Toafili had a combined 127 yards to lead the offense. The defense forced four Miami (FL) turnovers and held the Canes to 62 passing yards (less than 200 total). That level of dominance has surely stuck with the dozen Hurricane fans who witnessed it in person.

According to DraftKings, the Seminoles are a 14-point favorite against the Canes, with the over/under set at 50.5.
